Want to do more in your community? Ever thought about serving on a non-profit board?

Want to know more or make an offer?
Then participate in The Bridge!

The Bridge is a dynamic training program designed to give you the basics in nonprofit and government board service. Step on up!

Why board service?

Impact. There is nothing better than making a difference in a child's life through tutoring, or enhancing your neighborhood by cleaning up a park. But think about the impact you could have if you served on a board that determined how many children received tutoring, or which parks were receiving the most funding? On a board, you give direction, you raise the money and YOU are our community's stewards.

Without boards, our community institutions would fall apart... do you really want to live in a community without them?

The Course
In a series of trainings, you'll learn about roles and responsibilities of nonprofit and public board members in addition to completing personal skill and interest assessments.

The Bridge coursework focuses on:
- financial and legal responsibilities
- governance structures
- fundraising and public budgeting
- personal reflection

Following the training, we connect you with board opportunities. Then again, you might decide that board service isn't for you. But at least you know!
